Скачать или смотреть Quint 2 Wetdown and Push-In Ceremony

The celebration of a new piece of fire apparatus has been a source of pride in the fire service dating back to the 1800s. Firefighters would hold social events to mark the occasion of acquiring and placing into service a new piece of equipment. Since the equipment was either hand or horse-drawn, firefighters regularly pushed it into the station. The wetdown tradition came from rival fire companies attempting to “wash” the new apparatus before the firefighters who would soon operate it.

The new Quint 2, with its cutting-edge features, marks a significant addition to our fleet, enhancing our capabilities in firefighting, aerial suppression, and rescue operations. This new apparatus will call Prosper Fire Station 2 home and serve as a valuable resource for the Town's safety network.
